Dusit
Foods, a subsidiary of Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and
property development companies, has signed a strategic partnership agreement
with Green House Co., Ltd, a prominent player in Japan’s food industry, to
accelerate the growth of Epicure Catering Co., Ltd., a leading provider of food
and beverage services to the international school sector in Thailand, with the
aim to expand Epicure’s current operations and broaden its reach to include healthcare
facilities, corporate clients, and airlines, both domestically and
internationally.
As
part of the agreement, Green House, in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation,
will establish a new Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to acquire a 20% stake in
Epicure Catering. Dusit Foods will retain a 70% share, with the remaining 10%
held by existing Epicure shareholders.
Green
House brings over seven decades of expertise in food services across sectors
such as corporate, healthcare, and education, in addition to restaurant and
ready-to-eat food management, health service applications, kitchen consulting,
and food distribution. Serving over a million meals daily, Green House offers
more than 4,000 menu items crafted to meet the highest standards of quality and
safety through the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)
framework.
Green
House previously collaborated with Dusit International by providing consultancy
services for Dusit Thani Kyoto—the first Dusit Thani branded hotel in Japan—in
2023. The positive impact of this collaboration underscored the potential to
extend the partnership beyond hospitality and into the food sector.
“We
are delighted to deepen our collaboration with Green House and embark on this
strategic partnership that underscores our commitment to expanding Dusit’s food
business on a global scale,” said Ms Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO, Dusit
International. “With Epicure Catering’s position as a leading provider of food
and beverage services for the international school sector, holding over 70%
market share in Thailand, we see tremendous potential for growth. Together with
Green House, we aim to leverage our combined expertise and resources to bring
Epicure’s high-quality offerings to new markets in education, healthcare, and
airlines across Thailand and Asia. This collaboration also provides a unique opportunity
to explore sustainable cooperation models that can contribute to the long-term
development of the food industry as a whole.”
Mr
Chiaki Tanuma, President and CEO, Green House, said, “This strategic
partnership with Dusit Foods not only reaffirms our dedication to delivering
high-quality food services across the education, healthcare, and corporate
sectors but also marks a significant step in our global growth strategy.
Together, we are committed to setting new standards in the food industry and
pursuing innovative solutions that create lasting value for all stakeholders.”
Ms
Manisa Mitpaibul, Managing Director, Dusit Foods, explained that beyond driving
the expansion of Epicure Catering, the partnership is designed to unlock new
opportunities across food and beverage production, distribution, and services. “Through
knowledge sharing and the adoption of best practices, we aim to enhance
employee development, streamline operations, and foster sustainable growth
across food business overall,” she said. “Our focus remains on achieving a
positive environmental and social impact that benefits both our clients and the
communities we serve.”
Established
in 2018 with the vision to “Bring Asia to the World,” Dusit Foods
aims to strategically invest from ‘farm-to-fork’ across Dusit’s entire
food supply chain. This includes working to standardise food and beverage offerings
at Dusit Hotels and Resorts worldwide by delivering high-quality ingredients
and optimising costs, as well as developing premium products for the
international market.
Alongside
Epicure Catering, Dusit Foods’ primary investment portfolio currently includes
The Caterers, a leader in school catering and off-site receptions in
Vietnam; Bonjour Bakery Asia, a French baking factory and franchise
business based in Thailand; Savor Eats (Pinto Hub), a joint venture comprising
cloud kitchen/food delivery services and a central kitchen manufacturing hub in
Bangkok; and Dusit Gastro, a sourcing and distribution hub servicing Dusit
Hotels and Resorts in Thailand and affiliated companies and customers in the
hotel, restaurant, café, and catering industry (HoReCa).
